Advertisement No sound? Glitches and noise? Audio coming out of the wrong speakers? Resolving your OS X audio problems can be a time consuming process. It could be a matter of changing a simple setting or it could end up consuming most of your afternoon. Fortunately we’ve come up with a list of everything we can think of that you can do to resolve any sound problems your Mac may encounter.
First: Volume & Headphones Before you spend all day resolving a non-existent issue, check that you have one at all. Adjust your volume (make sure it’s not muted) and check your device’s audio out port doesn’t have any earphones or other external devices plugged in. You can’t play music from your internal speakers while another output device is connected in this port. Check Your Sound Settings Head to System Preferences Sound Output (you can search for it using Spotlight too) and check your sound settings for discrepancies. If you’re using a laptop, you’ll probably want to choose “Internal Speakers” (or “Headphones” if you’re using them). You may also see “Digital Output” if you’re not on a laptop. Make sure the desired output is selected. Note: You can also open Activity Monitor and search for the coreaudiod process and If you want to be a fairly proficient Mac user, it is necessary to know what Activity Monitor is, and how to read and use it. As usual, that's where we come in.

To reset your PRAM. Shut down the computer.

Here's how to reset the SMC and PRAM or NVRAM to get it working properly again. Problems with External Devices Sometimes when you connect an external device (like an HDMI TV) the sound will continue to come out of your internal speakers. To resolve this, connect the device and head back to the System Preferences Sound menu and make sure your HDMI (or other connected device) output is selected on the Output tab. You can also choose to output AirPlay audio to nearby devices via this interface, which is particularly handy for sharing audio separately to video. Third Party Software Problems You may run into an issue where your sound works in all but one app, in which case you’ll probably have to define your desired output device in that app’s settings. This is most often an issue associated with audio and video editors, like Audacity and Adobe Audition. Instructions for each app will differ, but you’ll want to ensure you choose the same output device that appears in your Mac’s System Preferences Sound Output option panel. Some software may require you to, which allows you to use multiple audio interfaces at the same time.

Distorted, crackling audio and random periods of complete silence were not uncommon (killing Core Audio usually resolved it). You should update to OS X Yosemite if you’re still having Mavericks-era sound problems, particularly as 10.11 While the changes don't seem that big on the surface, there's a lot going on under the hood that could make this incremental upgrade one of the most significant to date.

The download may take some time, and once finished installation is straightforward. You can even It's really easy to save the macOS installer to avoid multiple downloads, and worth doing even if you only have the one Mac.
Without having to download it again. Microphone and Input Devices Just like output devices, input devices like audio interfaces and microphones can also be mis-configured. Head to the System Preferences Sound Output menu to define your output device.
This particularly handy if you have connected a microphone and want to make sure you’re not using your computer’s internal one instead. USB microphones and interfaces will appear here, alongside microphones connected via your audio port. Can’t See “Internal Speakers” or Other Outputs? This is a rare but fairly well-documented problem as asked on message boards and in blog comments with little in the way of a fix. It seems most common after performing an operating system upgrade, in particular the leap from 10.09 (Mavericks) to 10.10 (Yosemite). First try installing any updates available to you.
